Growing Young is a CBFNC initiative in partnership with Fuller Youth Institute (FYI). Based on the research findings of FYI and its subsequent book, CBFNC is committed to helping churches better welcome and engage young people ages 15-29 and beyond.

 In January of 2019, a Growing Young Cohort was launched in partnership with the NC Synod of Evangelical Lutheran Churches in America (ELCA). In total, 24 churches (16 CBFNC and 8 ELCA) are participating in a year-long cohort to dive deeper into learning how to implement strategic plans to better welcome and engage young people in the church.

 

Join us for the 2020 Cohort!

Growing Young Cohort is a learning community where CBF churches from the southeast region can gather together to discover how they can change the culture of the church to better welcome and engage young people (ages 15-29) in the life of the WHOLE church.

In partnership with Fuller Youth Institute, a participating church will discover their own gifts for ministry with young people and work toward a transformation plan that will include contextual strategies for a cultural shift within the church.

The year-long cohort will include two in-person summit conferences in March and October, content webinars, coaching sessions and church-wide assessment.
